Predictive value of triglycerides to high density lipoprotein ratio in patients with first attack of acute coronary syndrome.

Objectives: To identify patients who are at risk for a first cardiovascular event, mitigate the risk, and institute early intervention. The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein-C (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been found to be a very useful biomarker for directing treatment and prevention therapy.

Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included adult patients (aged >18 years) experiencing first-time acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
